malfunction | deficient activity of PPO causes the accumulation and nonenzymatic oxidation of protogen IX leading to cellular damage. For green plants, inhibition of PPO leads to the rapid bleaching and desiccation of photosynthetically active parts of the plant | Nicotiana tabacum |
additional information | analysis of binding mode of protogen IX in the Nicotiana tabacum protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (mtPPO) by performing a computational docking followed by molecular simulations, quantum mechanics calculations, and an integrated analysis, overview. Several potential key residues, e.g. Thr70, Arg233, Ser235, Ser474 and Lys477, are identified. Residue Arg98 is necessary for binding of protogen IX. Comparison of the Nicotiana tabacum enzyme with the human enzyme. Modeling of ligand binding structures | Nicotiana tabacum |
physiological function | protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX (protogen IX) to protoporphyrin IX (proto IX) in the haem/chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway | Nicotiana tabacum |
